A man accused of sex trafficking and raping a 12-year-old in 2013 pleaded guilty to lesser charges in the courtroom Wednesday morning, before the trial could begin. Ivy Martin is one of seven people involved in the sex crimes against the child. All seven have pleaded guilty to their charges.

This week’s "Your Turn" segment goes to Michele LeJeune. LeJeune and many others reacted harshly to the story about a convicted sex offender in East Baton Rouge Parish who was allowed to plead guilty to lesser charges. Ivy Martin was accused of sex trafficking and raping a 12 year-old girl.

In LeJeune’s words:

This happens every day with this kind of trash. That is why he is able to be convicted once again. I know an offender convicted twice and he never saw a day in jail. The innocence of a child is murdered, but the legal system treats this scum as though they have a speeding ticket. Sick. I will be a vigilante if it happens to my family. I'll take my chances going to prison to be his judge, jury and executioner. The laws are not made to protect innocent children.
